大衛對亞比篩說：『現在比基利的兒子示巴必加害於我們、比押沙龍更厲害：你要帶領你主上的僕人去追趕他，免得他得了堡壘城，就奪了我們的視線。』

大衛對亞比篩說：「現在比基利的兒子示巴對我們的危害比押沙龍更大。你帶著你主人的臣僕們追趕他，免得他找到堅固的城，從我們眼前逃脫了。」

大衛謂亞比篩曰、今比基利子示巴、必將貽害、更甚於押沙龍、當率爾主之僕、追襲其後、免其入於堅城、得以避我、

David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master’s men and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and escape from us.”

David said to Abishai,“ Sheba, the son of Bikri, will do more harm to us than Absalom ever did. Take my men and go after him. If you don’t, he’ll find cities that have high walls around them. He’ll go into one of them and escape from us.”

And David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he get himself to fortified cities and escape from us.”

Then David said to Abishai,“ Sheba son of Bicri is going to hurt us more than Absalom did. Quick, take my troops and chase after him before he gets into a fortified town where we can’t reach him.”

So David said to Abishai,“ Sheba son of Bichri will do more harm to us than Absalom. Take your lord’s soldiers and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us.”

And David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight.”

And David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us.”

And David said to Abishai, Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.

And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than[ did] Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

Then David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba son of Bicri will cause greater disaster for us than Absalom did! Take your lord’s servants and pursue him. Otherwise he will secure fortified cities for himself and get away from us.”

David said to Abishai,“ Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”

Uriah answered David,“ The ark, Israel, and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camping in the open field. How can I enter my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live and by your life, I will not do this!”

But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him:“ You must never again go out with us to battle. You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”

The king said to them,“ Take my servants with you, have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon.

The man replied to Joab,“ Even if I had the weight of 1,000 pieces of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king’s son. For we heard the king command you, Abishai, and Ittai,‘ Protect the young man Absalom for me.’

As for me, even though I am the anointed king, I have little power today. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil!”

When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some men out of all the elite troops of Israel and lined up in battle formation to engage the Arameans.He placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai who lined up in battle formation to engage the Ammonites.

Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.

Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.

Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.

Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

“ Now get up! Go out and encourage your soldiers, for I swear by the Lord that if you don’t go out, not a man will remain with you tonight. This will be worse for you than all the trouble that has come to you from your youth until now!”

He then sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the troops,“ I will also march out with you.”

Then David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah,“ Who will go with me into the camp to Saul?”“ I’ll go with you,” answered Abishai.

The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was a fast runner, like one of the wild gazelles.

When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai and entered the city. So Joab withdrew from the attack against the Ammonites and went to Jerusalem.
